NEW YORK - New York crept closer to becoming the first U.S. state to outlaw cat declawing on Tuesday, after both chambers of the state legislature passed a ban on the feline surgery except for therapeutic reasons.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has not yet decided if he will sign it into law, said gubernatorial spokesman Jason Conwall. The bill allows declawing only for therapeutic purposes such as “an existing or recurring illness, infection, disease, injury or abnormal condition in the claw that compromises the cat’s health.”The bill passed the Senate 48-12, said Alexander Marion, spokesman for Senator Michael Gianaris, a Democrat from Queens who is deputy majority leader and sponsored the bill in his chamber. It passed the Assembly by a vote of 92-27, according to live video of the proceeding.
“It should remain an available option when a cat’s health is at stake, but also when a client’s health needs suggest they should have their pet declawed and the alternative is abandonment or euthanasia,” the non-profit society of 2,000 veterinarians said in a statement.
